Hello,
I have installed your component JFBConnect to my site and have spent the last 24hrs trying to get it setup properly. I have connected the account to facebook successfully but its my sign up that I can't get right.
I am using payplans extension as my site is a subscription site. The process I am looking for is:

New User clicks on register and is taken to subscription page where he/she can choose a subscription. Then from there they can register by form or facebook details. Then taken to payment window where they can select payment (up to this point no user is activated in the backend (joomla user manager) then choose payment type paypal/offline payment then once payment is made activation can go ahead. I dont want my members activating via email.. I have tried that many different settings over the last 24hrs the closest I got was that they got up to the payment window of payplans, but when checking the joomla user manager they were already activated and had full access to the site if they connected using their facebook details.

I have contacted payplans but am still awaiting a response from them. They have limited docs on config with JFBC and I have not been able to find any docs in your site for use with payplans.

thanks Leigh

Leigh,
JFBConnect doesn't have any built-in support for PayPlans. While we know of many sites that work with PayPlans, the flow you're looking for may not be possible with the current implementation.

With JFBConnect v6.0, we implemented a way for our socialprofile plugins to be able to control the registration process. We currently support that flow with Joomla, JomSocial and EasySocial. When configured, the user can authenticate from a social network but go through the alternate registration flow. The registration pages of those extensions can have data pre-filled by the social networks, but those extensions are completely in control of creating and activating the user.

Without a socialprofile plugin for PayPlans, right now, the only option is to let JFBConnect register the user and then redirect them to the PayPlans subscription page. Right now, as you noted, the user will be registered and activated by the time they visit the PayPlans page.

I hope that helps explain, and I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you. If you contact PayPlans, feel free to refer them to this post. While we do plan to investigate tighter integration through a socialprofile plugin, if they want to work together on one, we may be able to get something out sooner.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks Alex your are more than helpful.

We have decided to drop payplans for the time being until our site has seen better growth. We have decided to stay with the jfbconnect and jomsocial setup.

Thank you for your reply..

Leigh,
No problem for the help. It's what we're here for. If you have any other questions or have any feedback on how we could improve things, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Finally, if you haven't already, please consider leaving a rating and review for JFBConnect, or our support, on the Joomla Extension Directory. It certainly isn't required, but is very appreciated:
